The latest episode from Telltale games discusses how they’re building the story for their Walking Dead game. The game will feature a new lead character completely. His name is Lee and he will actually have a very dark origin story. My favorite comparison of Lee comes with their discussion linking him to Rick Grimes. It is said perfect that Rick is perceived as good in the Walking Dead and we slowly watch him become, dark, maybe a bit crazy. Lee is starting the opposite as perceived as bad (being a convicted murderer and all). But we will watch him do things that are perceived as good.
Again they reiterate that the game will be based heavily on choices, small ones about how to reply, or big ones whether or not someone lives or dies. This game looks like a phenomenal piece of content.
